In this paper an improved version of the graded precision localization algorithm GRADELOC, called IGRADELOC is proposed. The performance of GRADELOC is dependent on the regions formed by the overlapping radio ranges of the nodes of the underlying sensor network. A different region pattern could significantly alter the nature and precision of localization. In IGRADELOC, two improvements are suggested. Firstly, modifications are proposed in the radio range of the fixed-grid nodes, keeping in mind the actual radio range of commonly available nodes, to allow for routing through them. Routing is not addressed by GRADELOC, but is of prime importance to the deployment of any adhoc network, especially sensor networks. A theoretical model expressing the radio range in terms of the cell dimensions of the grid infrastructure is proposed, to help in carrying out a deployment plan which achieves the desirable precision of coarse-grained localization. Secondly, in GRADELOC it is observed that fine-grained localization does not achieve significant performance benefits over coarse-grained localization. In IGRADELOC, this factor is addressed with the introduction of a parameter that could be used to improve and fine-tune the precision of fine-grained localization.
